Sitting here is humbling. To be alive at the same time as about seven billion members of our species is all any of us can be.
Fruitarians, carnivores and omnivores converting states of energy.
Chemical bonds. Disconnected theories of everything.
Seven billion blind trying to describe the elephant in the living room.
Sightless and yet having the gift of sight.
Surfing the crests down to the troughs and over the boughs while tying bows of infinite loops on ships' bows.
Spare time to change the spare tyre.
Independent third parties.
Furniture polish.
Kimonos over cowboy boots.
TransSiberian Chinese highspeed rails.
Genuine high quality Cuban cigars.
If birds are free to fly 'round the world, why aren't we?
Happy that the Amis Mill Eatery will have a wonderful New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebration; that Arby's serves roasted rather than fried beef; that Food City is still a hometown favourite; that integrity is still an important concept to young people; that dreams are enigmas sometimes.
Fortunate that one can enjoy simple pleasures without the need for reading subtle body language or cynic tones clouding the moment.
Overcoming the predator-prey dilemma to get us out of the materialistic envy cycle and on to the next really, really great thing.
One planet at a time.
[Starting with ours, of course.]
Are you committed to victory for all of us? You are now.
